Per OrangeBloods, winter conditioning is scheduled to begin on January 22nd when the spring semester starts.
Correction on Buechele.
He will have two years of eligibility.
This bowl game showed me what a difference our offense of line and defense of line can make.
We are losing three starters on offense of line.
We are basically losing three of three starters on the defense of line.
Anyone have a hypothetical starting Oline?
And D line ?
It would be nice hearing about guys like Patrick Hudson or others emerging based on practices for the bowl game or anything you’ve heard. Keondre Coburn played in the bowl game and did it decent job on the play I saw him.
I know this is way too early but I need comfort. After re-watching some of the plays we really did kick Georgia around up front.
We should be just fine on both, I would venture to say maybe even better. We return Roach who should be slipping back into his role as a DE which is his natural position. Ta'quon Graham was nails all year and should be starting at SDE. Gerald Wilbon is coming back to man the middle. The biggest question is who will back them up. We have juco help coming in from Jacoby Jones who should provide instant depth. Also have Bimage, Daniel Carson, Keondre Coburn and Moro Ojomo to help man the middle. I'd feel better if we could get one more DT but in a pinch Graham can move inside. Joseph Ossai was recruited as a WDE but played a lot at linebacker, so there is a possibility he grows out of the linebacker position and brings depth to the WDE positon. I'm pretty confident we are going to have a good Dline, however an early game against LSU will definitely test them. Other than that, our Dline will be good enough to handle league play pretty well.
Oline has some questions. I think you will see Texas shuffle some people around. The guys we know we can count on are Sam Cosmi, Zach Shackleford, Derek Kerrstetter, JP Urquidez, and Denzel Okafor. We have 3 guys who redshirtted and we will see how they do in the spring. I have high hopes for all 3. Reese Moore, Rafiti Ghirmai, and Junior Angilau, I think all three will either be starting or providing solid depth.
If I had to venture a guess on the oline, I'd say that Sam Cosmi will be moved over to Left Tackle, Reese Moore will slide into thee Right tackle spot, Junior Angilau will beat out a few guys to take the Right guard spot Zach will come back as center and Derek Kerrstetter will keep the right guard spot. Everyone else will be solid backups. That is a solid 8 man line and it allows us to redshirt all the incoming freshmen. I hope we can get a juco olinemen or another Grad Transfer or 2. I'd like to have a complete second team. Also hoping we keep Shepherd, he is a pain right now, but he has all the tools to become a 1st round NFL draft pick.
Is Tate Martell willing to transfer now?
Does anyone know what time the commitments are supposed to happen for the Army All American game? I can’t find a schedule online. Thanks!
I feel better about D line for next year after seeing Ossai beasts out against a supposedly talented Georgia o-line. He led the team in tackles with 8. That’s pretty huge considering he didn’t but play much this season until here late. He’ll solidify a position, we have Roach back as well as Graham and Bimage. Bimage was out this game and we play well which is significant because he got a fair amount of playing time this year. We RS Carson, Coburn and Ojomo. Returns at DT are Wilbon and DCG. This from just what I can think up right quick without doing research.
How could I forget JUCO transfer Jacoby Jones who almost certainly secures a starting position and I believe Jamari Chisholm red shirted as well.
No way in JP Uriquidez makes the 2 deep. Dude is the size of a tight end and is pretty much never discussed. I think you see us go heavy for a JUCO o lineman for right tackle. Or insert Denzel or Christian Jones as his name has been brought up more and more. My guess....
Cosmi, Imade, Shackelford, Kerstetter, and Okafor.
Angilau, Moore, and 2 more from what we have slash coming in and we should be good.
Three Longhorns make it.
